That’s the largest tardigrade I’ve ever seen.

Nope, the latter was correct.

I feel that spreading lies, even to make fun of them, is ultimately counter-productive. I know others disagree though.

Where I grew up it was between 20 and 30 much of the year. Honestly a 10 point warmness scale is quite easy to adjust to.

I have heard farenheit defenders point out that we’re not water - that farenheit cares about the temperatures that humans care about

A global government would prevent this from ever happening.

A few elites have the power to inflict violence on everyone else and get away with it - aka the state’s monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. This allows them to enforce injustice like unlivable wages but also to starve, jail and kill anyone who is serious about taking aware their power.

Setting up a global union would drastically curtail the power of elites, and they would prevent it. You would have to defeat the world’s elite, and in that case a universal wage is small potatoes.

The easiest way I find is to memorize the 0/10/20/30C to F conversions, then plus/minus at 2 to 1 from there.

32 = 0 50 = 10 68 = 20 86 = 30

70F is ~21C, 54F is ~12C, 81F is ~27.5C.

This account is a violent transphobic troll.

They post transphobic comments and calls for violence then whine about being banned from trans-friendly communities because they “just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want”

I think you underestimate how pessimistic many of us are. People I talk to in stores or at work are grim.

Most humans don’t take drastic action until they or someone sufficiently close to them is directly hurt. We can think of this as a moral failing or we can acknowledge that it’s a witnessable fact about our species and do our best to plan around it.

The political system laid out by the constitution was supposed to prevent us getting here. But it’s always been pretty shit, so no surprises that it failed to prevent this and is failing to stop it.

This would be a large and obvious escalation of meta’s support for fascism if true and it’s also very fakeable. I could believe it, but I’d need to see some people to verify.

I searched DDG for “el Salvador news censored by meta” and again but “by meta on Facebook” and got nothing, but that’s not so unexpected. Where were these people who claimed to verify it?

I don’t have FB or I’d check myself.

My parents do say kleenices, but they’re massive nerds. And linguists. Dad has bad allergies so “Did you take the kleenices out of your pockets?” was a common laundry time question. They also pluralized pizza as “pizzot”.

Tesla is claiming they filed previously unfiled sales once the announcement was made that the program was close to running out of money. However:

One Tesla locations in particular, Quebec City, claimed 4,000 rebates over the course of a weekend, which is physically impossible for a location of that size, and represents about a ~20x spike in daily deliveries for the location. Another location in Etobicoke reportedly claimed 2,528 rebates over the weekend, which is more than all the rebates that location had previously claimed combined.

It’s obviously just a lie to suggest these staggering numbers were past sales unfiled. Especially since tesla gives no details, and proceeds to threaten the government with legal action. This also fails to explain how their sales were so close to the amount left in the fund - mentioned in initial reporting but not here.

Tesla stole $43M from a government subsidy fund by faking thousands of sales.

Humans follow laws, animals ignore them

Laws are for binding the poor, the rich ignore them.

He has multiple credible rape allegations going back years.

He supports ideologies that encourage hurting others.

His peers are known rapists.

He’s active in an explicitly pro-rape social scene.

He’s rich and famous, which neurologically reduces your brain’s capacity for empathy and encourages more harmful behaviors.

Russel Brand exists in a social environment that permits harming others and specifically encourages rape, and he has reduced cognitive barriers to harming others. As an organism, his social and cognitive environment is a strong incentive to commit rape and multiple witnesses say he has.

Incorrect. He’s definitely guilty. He has resting rapist face. When he walks into an elevator, everyone is like phwoah, what smells of rapist? Because Russel brand is definitely a rapist.

Tauros in greek is bull, yeah. The minotaur was the Bull of Minos. It may link back to the pre-greek people of crete, known for bull-leaping.

The “ken” in “Kentauros” is thought to mean piercing, but why is a piercing bull a half man/horse? There’s no obvious explanation.

I love the idea of -tauros coming to mean a monstrous combination, like franken- in english. But if there were any evidence of that some very excited nerds would’ve told us, I’m sure.

Personally, I say sen tore.

According to my classics professor ~20 years ago, we can’t know how “au” would’ve been pronounced in the greek.

He told us that ancient greek diphthong pronunciation is just made up. Apparently it’s much harder to reconstruct those sounds confidently, but that didn’t stop past classicists from claiming their reckonings as incontrovertible facts. Oxford and cambridge used to expell students for following the diphthong pronunciations of the other, but both are basically guesses.

In Australia it’s shortened to “Sepo”.

I only have it on PS4 so I can’t even get 2.0 + Phantom Liberty till I can afford a new gaming computer. Even using the old systems it’s such a great game.

The characters are very thoughtfully written, the atmosphere is top notch, and the themes of control and power are well reflected in the main plot and a host of side quests.

The neighborhoods all feel like unique parts of a whole, and the surprising verticality of the city makes it fun to explore, especially once you get legs upgrades.

Bikes are more fun than cars, so definitely be thinking of Akira and stick to 2 wheels when you can. Shooting people through walls or around corners is pretty fun, as is rebooting people’s eyes or taking over the heavy turret of some unsuspecting defenders.

It’s clever, catchy and appropriate for the historical moment.

When an illegitimate fascist coup accuses you of domestic terrorism, it’s because you’re doing the right thing.

I’m not racist, some of my best slaves are black.
